One thing to note with balancing on a couple of these, especially :light and :gravity

You're using up one of your cards to partially counter one card from your opponent, and you don't even get to pick which card it affects. Thus they'll tend to be very UP, even if you give them a low cost.
Partial countering is common for cheap targeted CC.

IT IS DONE!!

I still need some feedback on some of them,  :death, :earth, :light, :entropy, and  :water I believe are ones that have had no comments on them. I would also like some more votes in the poll, though it is leaning towards a cloaked hiding mechanism. I am still open to better mechanics for the cards.

Any of these look crucible ready?

Aether and Earth look the best IMHO. As one famous plumber has said, (who I have never actually seen do any plumbing whatsoever, btw)

Maybe you could add a Neutral card called Backfire|Crossfire that steals or disables enemy traps.  Something along that line.

A trap for a trap card? Not a bad idea but I think that existing pc like steal and pulvy have it covered as well as the abundance of ideas on this forum that freeze/delay non weapon permanents, just because you can't necessarily tell what it is doesn't mean it's not targetable (unless of course cloak or enchant artifact is played  :)))

Balance of the individual cards aside, 'traps' would be really cool, and I think they should be hidden although if you're extra crafty you will see the - quanta when the card is played and know it anyway, even if the card is cloaked. ;)

One very important mechanic would be when the trap activates, at the end of the turn, or as soon as a card is played to trigger it. It really needs to trigger immediately to have a good effect for most of them.

My favourite is the darkness version looks epic.  :)

The concept is very interesting, I really like it. Aether is maybe overpowered. Air is very situational, darkness and death are interesting. Earth is maybe overpowered, entropy is way too random (even for entropy). Fire is good, so are gravity, life, light and time. Water is again too random.
That's what I think.

Do these trigger on you as well if you do an action that 'triggers' it? I ask because some of them, but not all, state enemy, which suggests that some are meant to be able to backfire.

the ones that don't specifically state enemy can trigger on yourself yes
